- Individual tracks (10 minutes each, headphones required):
Bonus (speaker-friendly): from a previous post, you can also add a pure 432 Hz drone (10 min) under breathwork or journaling:
Use headphones for the binaural effect. Keep the volume low—quiet enough that you can still notice your breath.
Why 432 Hz + Binaural?
- 432 Hz is a reference pitch slightly lower than today’s A440. Many listeners experience it as subtly softer/rounder—useful when the goal is less stimulation.
- Binaural beats present slightly different tones to each ear (e.g., 430.5 Hz left / 433.5 Hz right). Your brain perceives the difference (3 Hz) as a slow pulse that can help nudge you toward target states:
- ~3 Hz (delta) → deep-sleep territory, body downshift
- ~7 Hz (alpha-theta) → anxiety relief, calm presence
Our tracks add a very slow “breathing” tremolo and long fades so the sound settles in gently.
Exactly What’s Inside
Deep Sleep — 3 Hz Binaural (10 minutes)
- Frequencies: L 430.5 Hz / R 433.5 Hz (difference = 3 Hz)
- Feel: heavy-lid, floaty; designed to be non-intrusive
- Best for: end-of-day wind-down, pre-sleep meditation, yoga nidra prelude
How to use (5 min):
- Lie on your back, one hand on belly, one on chest.
- Breathe in 4 sec, out 6 sec (no force).
- If thoughts race, gently count exhales from 1–10, then start over.
Tip: If you like it, set your player to loop so you’re not jarred awake when it ends.
Anxiety Calm — 7 Hz Binaural (10 minutes)
- Frequencies: L 428.5 Hz / R 435.5 Hz (difference = 7 Hz)
- Feel: calm-alert; eases the jitter without making you sleepy
- Best for: anytime reset, post-conflict cool-down, pre-meeting grounding
How to use (5–10 min):
- Sit upright, shoulders down.
- Try 4–1–6 breathing (inhale 4, pause 1, exhale 6).
- On each exhale, soften jaw and tongue.
Quick Routines You’ll Actually Keep
- Two-step Sleep Prep (15 min): 7 Hz (5 min) → 3 Hz (10 min). Calm first, then drift.
- Anxiety First Aid (10 min): 7 Hz with 4–6 breathing; end by naming three specifics you’re grateful for (keeps it real, not vague).
- Travel Reset (10–20 min): 7 Hz on the plane with eyes closed—volume low. Follow with a glass of water when you land.
Troubleshooting
- Too intense / “pressure” sensation: Turn volume down, shorten to 5–7 minutes, or try the 432 Hz drone instead (no binaural).
- Restless legs / can’t get comfy: Place a pillow under knees (supine) or use a weighted blanket across shins.
- No effect? Keep the exhale longer than the inhale and try again. For some people, breath pacing does more than beats.
Safety & Common Sense
- Don’t use while driving or doing anything requiring full attention.
- If you’re sound-sensitive or have a seizure history, start very low or use non-binaural tones.
- This is wellness audio, not a medical treatment. If anxiety or insomnia are persistent, pair sound with professional care.
